Filipinos call restrooms - comfort rooms. To be honest - I don't know how that started because the tagalog word for rest room does not translate to English word for comfort. Palikuran - is the Tagalog word - and it roughly translates to a place at the back ( which is where it used to be found in the Nipa hut - the pre-spanish colonial house of the Filipinos.
So if you find yourself in our country - and you need to look for the restroom - ask for the CR (Comfort Room).
